I know I can generate regular barcodes, but I have customers who need QR Codes printed out.

I have seen a module out there by Kyle Chase. However, there is an API mismatch.

Is there any way to do this without making a module?

I use a PHP script on the server that creates a QRCode on the fly via URL. Then call that url from within the ignition project.

[phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/](http://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/)

Once that is working…  
Use the appropriate URL in an image path…

For example my URL’s are like this:  
[10.10.10.5/phpqrcode/companyqr.php?data=D1101117](http://10.10.10.5/phpqrcode/companyqr.php?data=D1101117)

I created a template that uses uses python to draw a QRCode on a paintable canvas
